Meatball-eh meatball-eh! Okay. I’m already royally scrizzed for this month. See, Aaron and I have this tradition. And I should know better, really. Each Halloween we watch scary movies. And they’re across the board scary. Like, Scream-scary, Rosemary’s Baby-scary, Poltergeist-scary, Joan Rivers documentary-scary. Anything goes. But a couple of days ago we accidentally totally on […]

White Bean, Kale and Italian Sausage Soup
It’s all about the rind, n’est pas? I have no idea why I threw a little Francais into that sentence. This isn’t even a French soup. Let me start over. It’s all about the rind, I MEAN RIGHT, YOU GUYS? Yeah, that was just straight up obnoxious boulevard. Question: Do you freeze your cheese rinds? […]
Chicken and Vegetable Minestrone
Back to liiiiife. Back to realityyyy. Can I just say that my back yard looks absolutely nothing like the beach? Can I also just say that in my rush to get out the door last week I forgot to turn on the dishwasher before we left? And can I ask if it’s completely disgusting to […]
Chicken Sausage Chili
“Um, this is totally chili,” says Bev to Aaron on the hottest day in all of eternity and then some. “I know, I know. Total accident. I was going for more of a beans and rice type of thing, and adding those chicken sausages you bought the other day, which was a genius move on […]
Smoky Corn Chowder with Shrimp
I don’t wanna beg, buuuuut… Meet your new summer lover. His name is Chowder. Or, Chow-duh if you like to LIVE ON THE EDGE. He’s gentle, tender, smokin’ hot, probably has a mustache and I’m weirding even myself out right now. So, my M-I-L visited last weekend and brought with her what some would call […]
The Pioneer Woman’s Chicken Tortilla Soup
(This giveaway has now ended.) So there’s this woman. Her name is Ree. You might know her? I’ll give you a hint! Her last name rhymes with Brummond and she’s married to a man who lives for cow poop and they have four punks (hey! her word, not mine) and they live on a huge […]
Chicken Pesto Minestrone
Something is happening to my brain. And it’s starting to scare me. It all started with the most devastating news ever ever ever. Whitney. When I found out, of course I spent the next 36.5 hours cradling my laptop, glued to YouTube, singing along through unruly sobs to I Will Always Love You. And things […]
Roasted Tomato Soup with Parmesan Heart Crisps
You guys, where have I been? What on earth have I been doing my entire life? How has it taken me nearly 36 years to make fah-rickin’ PARMESAN CRISPS? Oh right, I’ve been obsessed with trying to find the world’s best deep conditioning hair treatment. Well, and solving crimes. Der. Parmesan Crisps are my new […]
Cajun Shrimp Bisque
Story time! (heeeey now, there’s an ACCORDION in it.) I used to have a job that wasn’t related to food. I drove to a building. Sat at a desk. Hung out with human beings. Minimized chat windows and Facebook every time my boss walked by. Brushed my hair. When work slowed down this awesome woman […]
Dinosaur Kale, Tomato and White Bean Soup
I know. I’ve been on quite the kale kick lately. Oh! Let’s start a band. The Kale Kicks. I’ll play bass. Have you ever seen this kind of kale before? Dinosaur kale? It’s flatter and more rich in color compared to the limey-er green curly kale I showed you on Friday. And it has little […]
